Chapter 1289: with translation of chapter title

"Oh oh." Lao He replied hurriedly.

He turned and went out to make a phone call, calling the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department chief to the operating table for a consultation. This matter had already been arranged, and they were ready.

Zheng Renze began to arrange the intestines, placing the mobilized bowel in orderly fashion according to normal anatomical structure.

Since the intestines had been mobilized, pulling on the intestinal retractor revealed severe adhesions enveloping the patient's right ovary.

As for whether the inflammation originated here, Director Wei and Professor Feng shared Zheng Ren's view. It was likely a retrograde infection in the adnexal area, causing extensive adhesions in the peritoneal cavity and forming severe encapsulating peritonitis.

That's all for tracing the source.

"Boss Zheng, this operation really opened my eyes," Director Wei exclaimed.

"Mm, indeed," Zheng Ren said.

Director Wei and Feng Jianguo were stunned for a moment; although it was true, Boss Zheng saying that was hardly modest.

"I've seen related reports of 45 cases, but none were like this," Zheng Ren continued. "To have adhesions this severe, I too have opened my eyes."

Oh, I see, there were two matters.

"Boss Zheng, are you interested in case reports?" Professor Feng asked.

"As for me, the research articles in our group are all written by Su Yun. I… seem not to need them." Zheng Ren smiled. "If you're interested, just write a case report and have Su Yun help you submit it."

"Hehe," Professor Feng chuckled.

"By the way, Xiao Cao, are you a graduate student?" Zheng Ren suddenly asked.

Quan Xiaocao, hearing Zheng Ren suddenly ask her, became nervous all at once.

Boss Zheng asked her a question, and Boss Zheng actually asked her a question!

She didn't know where to put her nervous hands and feet, and instinctively shifted a bit behind Zheng Ren so he wouldn't see her in his peripheral vision.

"Xiao Cao? Boss Zheng is asking you a question," Professor Feng said.

Quan Xiaocao's mind was still a blank; she didn't hear Professor Feng's words.

"……" Professor Feng was also speechless, shook his head, and smilingly explained: "This kid is fine in every way, just a bit timid; probably she's nervous."

Zheng Ren chuckled, "People, being a bit timid is actually quite good."

"She scored 365 on this year's graduate entrance exam, 70 points above the cutoff," Professor Feng said. "If there's no mishap, I'll take her as my graduate student."

"Mm, not bad," Zheng Ren smiled. "But few girls go into surgery; Xiao Cao, you need to work hard."

Hearing Zheng Ren say that, Professor Feng became puzzled.

Boss Zheng hardly speaks on the operating table. His girlfriend is right there beside him—is it really appropriate to flirt like this?

Actually, Feng Jianguo doesn't mind Boss Zheng flirting; when one is young and vigorous, saying a few risqué jokes on the operating table is normal, let alone saying a few perfectly ordinary sentences.

But given Boss Zheng's personality, saying that was a bit too much.

Seeing Feng Jianguo a little dazed, Zheng Ren immediately realized and chuckled: "Last year, in Hai Cheng, I did the very work that Xiao Cao had done before."

"Oh?" Feng Jianguo's interest sparked at once; Boss Zheng was about to recount his personal history.

Boss Zheng's origins are mysterious; to this day, no one really knows why this great talent appeared out of nowhere. Even the several inpatient chiefs who went to Hai Cheng for support are unclear, speaking vaguely.

Hearing him voluntarily start to talk about his dark past, Director Wei and Professor Feng became interested.

"Back then, the hospital invited Professor Sen Yu from Japan to perform a pancreaticoduodenectomy, and I did a lot of preparatory work, hoping to assist on stage." Zheng Ren recalled that autumn of last year, feeling a bit wistful.

Xie Yiren looked at Zheng Ren, her brows and eyes curving a little more, smiling brightly.

"Boss Zheng, wait a moment," Director Wei interjected suddenly, "Your skill level isn't that of a lead surgeon; to assist, you'd still have to do a lot of work, wouldn't you?"

Hai Cheng, City First Hospital, in Director Wei's mind instantly turned into a utopia where experts gathered.

If that's the case, should I go take a look at the next batch of support personnel?

But with Boss Zheng's level, he couldn't even get onto the operating table? Impossible.

"Is it Professor Senyu Ichiro?" Feng Jianguo asked.

"Mm." Zheng Ren nodded.

"No way, Professor Sen has a high level, but for ordinary outpatient surgeries, it's just so-so," Director Wei frowned.

In his view, Professor Senyu's level is about the same as his own, or perhaps slightly higher; describing it as "just so-so" is absolutely not an exaggeration.

Only Boss Zheng's caliber is truly awesome.

"Back then I hadn't yet opened my orifices," Zheng Ren said, a bit embarrassed, letting the slip out.

"Then what happened?"

"Afterward, I finished disinfection, put on sterile gown, and stood in the corner waiting to close the abdomen," Zheng Ren said.

"……" Director Wei was stunned.

"……" Feng Jianguo was also stunned.

Lao He smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.

Boss Zheng's level is such that he actually has to stand in the corner waiting to close the abdomen!

MD, what is wasting heavenly gifts? What is ruining things!

"Just now seeing Xiao Cao about to step down after disinfection reminded me," Zheng Ren sighed. "Junior doctors aren't having it easy; if I can lend a hand, I will. As for when I'll get my chance, that's up to fate."

"Boss Zheng, when did you get your break?" Lao He gave a perfectly timed comedic reply, keeping the mood from going cold and giving Zheng Ren a chance to confide.

"That operation, Professor Senyu couldn't finish it; I went up, closed the abdomen, and removed the tumor," Zheng Ren said calmly.

Only then did the few people around let out a breath.

Does this now align with my worldview?

Professor Senyu is indeed world-class. But if one were to say how much higher his level is than Director Wei's, the latter would surely jump up in objection.

But Boss Zheng is different.

Director Wei is not only convinced in heart, he also admits it verbally.

The operation that Professor Senyu couldn't complete, Boss Zheng took over—only then does it make sense.

Just this past matter, there are too many unreasonable aspects. With Zheng Lao Ban's skill so high, at Haicheng Shi Yiyuan he's still only responsible for minor abdominal surgeries as a small doctor?

Although this counts as an opportunity, Zheng Lao Ban thus came to prominence.

But with his surgical skill, how could he not stand out? In any position, casually standing out—whether lying prone or supine, he'd just become awesome; who could still stop him?

Director Wei, Feng Jianguo, and Lao He are all well-informed and tactful people; if Zheng Lao Ban doesn't speak of it later, there must be some bitter past. Perhaps he was suppressed by local doctors, who knows.

Zheng Lao Ban is so honest and simple; being suppressed is normal—there are plenty of clueless people, who knows.

But upon reflection, that's indeed the case. It wasn't long before Director Kong took a liking to him and dug him out no matter what. Director Kong's luck is truly good, Director Wei thought.

"Right, if we were to do a case report, it would take a few months." Zheng Ren said some miscellaneous things, then remembered the main point: "How's Xiao Cao's English?"

"Professional level eight." Quan Xiaocao realized what Zheng Lao Ban wanted to say.

She's just timid, but not stupid. How could a fool score that high?

"This report should be able to get into The Lancet." Zheng Ren said: "Publishing in that journal might help with graduation. If you're interested, help Professor Feng with this project and communicate more with Su Yun."

Quan Xiaocao was completely dazed—before even enrolling, she'd have a Lancet paper?

She wouldn't have to worry about graduation at all.

She recalled once chatting idly on the operating table when she heard Professor Feng mention that Zheng Lao Ban brings good fortune to people.

He really does bring good fortune—just lay out a sheet and you can get a Lancet paper.

Quan Xiaocao directly forgot about answering the question, her whole person falling into a state of ecstatic delight at the thought of graduating smoothly even before enrollment.

"Zheng Lao Ban, how was the cattail you ate that day?" Director Wei asked.

"Pretty good." Zheng Ren glanced sideways at Xie Yiren and smiled: "Yiren also said that if we find the white mountain goat this winter, we should borrow an iron pot and have a good feast of mutton."

They were chatting when the head of Obstetrics and Gynecology came up.

Ding-dong~ the sound of a completed mission rang out.

The Big Pig Trotter was still quite reasonable; Zheng Ren chuckled to himself.

The handling of the ovarian area had nothing to do with the abdominal cocoon disease, so the surgery was completed. Zheng Ren glanced at the system panel, where a line of mission completion information appeared.

【Urgent Mission: Metamorphosis completed.

Mission Content: Rescue one patient with abdominal cocoon disease.

Mission Reward: Skill points 3000, Experience points 100000, Vitality potion ×2.

Mission Time: 15 hours. Time consumed 4 hours 15 minutes, remaining time 10 hours 45 minutes.

"Director Wei, I'm heading down then." Zheng Ren hadn't even thought about doing an obstetrics and gynecology surgery.

As for what the Big Pig Trotter thinks, Zheng Ren couldn't care less.

"Jianguo, you stay here and watch." Director Wei said: "I and Zheng Lao Ban will go down first."

Saying that, Director Wei and Zheng Ren left the operating room.
